An ordinance authorizing a development agreement with Springfield Park District for improvements in the Enos Park and Madison Park Place tax-increment financing districts will go to the debate agenda before the Springfield City Council next Tuesday.
It was one of several items moved to that agenda by action of the Committee of the Whole Tuesday.
It engendered plenty of discussion, including an accusation from Ward 7 Ald. Joe McMenamin that the park district is trying to strong-arm the city.

The trucks left the Pfizer factory shortly after 6:30 a.m. with the first of nearly three million doses. This set of vials is expected to arrive in all 50 states on Monday, and a larger shipment will arrive Tuesday. The vaccine, kept at sub-Arctic temperatures, will be shuttled by plane to UPS in Louisville and Fed-Ex in Memphis, where they will then be trucked or flown to the facilities chosen to receive the first doses. The long-awaited moment comes as hospitalizations hit record highs for the seventh day in a row Sa
